History's Way: Along Savannah's Riverfront

History's Way, Along Savannah's Riverfront, reads like a casual stroll along the historic ground where Patriots, pirates, and profiteers once walked. It includes events, places, and people who made marks, good and bad, on the South and on America. The stories include Liberty Boy Andrew Wells, a brother-in-law to Patriot, Samuel Adams, who protested the King's taxes by capturing sugar in a night-time raid on a British sloop, and the tale of the wharfside battle between Americans and rogue French pirates who terrorized the town. It tells of people like Eric Meyerhoff, a refugee from Nazi Germany who saw the waterfront in decay and imagined it as it could be. The storyline is seasoned with descriptions of Southern families associated with the riverfront, their politics, quirks, and loyalties, and how cuisine and heritage form the bond that holds them together.
Over the years many people, local and from far-away places have gravitated to the one-mile-long strip of shoreline on the Savannah River. Each year millions visit the waterfront to experience its charm, history, restaurants, and nightlife.
JD Byous tells why.
